“Just because I support peoples freedom to use inscriptions doesnt mean I like the ways its being used.” I don’t know, if you support “people’s freedom” or network taking control via centralization through prohibitive cost increment. The freedom of anybody ends when the freedom of somebody is being cut (and that without consensus or in free will).

The resource cost increment on the size of the UTXO set is something we needed to solve before inscriptions (and stamps, and muun wallet, etc) and continues to be a key technical challenge. I prefer decentralization. Which is also why I dont see knee jerk reactions as the solution as they often come with unintended consequences. Changes to standardness rules for relaying but not consensus rules to match makes the network more centralizing to miners. Nobodies freedom is being cut by the existence of inscriptions or any other form of data storage within Bitcoin that embeds within - coinbase - op_return in general - multisig outpouts - tx output amounts - tx id - op code ordering
